MIMCO creates unique luxury accessories crafted from fine, high quality materials sourced from around the globe. Understanding how your MIMCO piece has been made and how to care for it is an important part of sustaining its love-forever feeling.

WHAT IS LEATHER?

Leather is a natural material that has unique variations in colour and texture.

MIMCO’s bags, shoes, wallets and other small accessories are crafted from a variety of quality leathers, some of which may fade & soften over time, or be more delicate than others.

Light-coloured leather accessories are prone to absorbing other dyed material, so please take care when wearing these pieces with denim and other dark materials.

PROTECTION

All leather should be protected with protector spray prior to wear, and regularly after to help resist the effects of daily wear. MIMCO’s protector spray can be applied to most leather and suede items. The spray will help prevent lighter coloured leathers absorbing unstable dyes such as denim, however this is not guaranteed by MIMCO.

To protect your item: In an exposed space away from any open flame, hold the protector spray approximately 30cm from your item and spray evenly over the surface, Please ensure you cover any embellishments or hardware before spraying. Allow the item to dry before using or storing. Spray your item every two to three weeks, depending on the frequency of use.

CLEANING

As MIMCO does not sell leather cleaner, we suggest visiting a leather goods repair store or shoe repairer to find the most suitable product to clean your item. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous part of your item before applying it completely. Remember to protect your item again after cleaning.

CONDITIONING

Leather conditioners and gels should only be used occasionally as they contain fats or oils that help to lubricate the leather and replenish suppleness. MIMCO’s leather conditioner can be used on most smooth leathers but should NOT be used on any suede, metallic, embossed, vegetable tanned or patent leathers. Always test any conditioner on an inconspicuous part of your item before applying it completely.

To condition: Apply a small amount of conditioner to a soft cloth and massage gently into your item. Allow the item to dry before using or storing. Condition your item every two to three weeks, depending on the frequency of use.

POLISHING

Polishing is a great way to remove fingerprints and dust from leather items, particularly high shine leathers such as patent leather. We recommend using a soft cloth such as the MIMCO dust bag to polish you item.

STORING

We recommend storing leather items in their MIMCO dust bag when not in use. Never store any leather items in plastic and always store them in a cool, dry place away from heat.

For specific details on how to care for your MIMCO leather bag or evening bag, please refer to the ‘Types of Leather’ section.

Our non leather bags are crafted from ultra-modern materials such as nylon and synthetic leather. They are easy to care for and can be wiped clean using a damp cloth and sprayed using our protector spray.

CARING FOR NON LEATHER BAGS

ACRYLIC EVENING BAGS

Acrylic is a synthetic material than can be wiped free of dust, spills or fingerprints. We recommend using a soft cloth such as the MIMCO dust bag to polish your item.

EMBELLISHED EVENING BAGS

Our embellished evening bags are crafted using semi-precious stones, sequins and other delicate embellishments, all of which are attached by hand. Please take extra care when using these pieces. If they are dropped or mishandled, stones may fall out and/or embellishments may break. MIMCO cannot take responsibility for any breakages that occur through mishandling.

CARING FOR JEWELLERY

MIMCO jewellery is crafted using semi-precious stones, beads, crystals, metals, chains and other embellishments. Most of our jewellery is constructed by hand, and you may notice variation in the colour, size and pattern of some beads. Please take care when wearing MIMCO jewellery, as our pieces are very delicate. If they are dropped or mishandled, stones may fall out or embellishments may break. MIMCO cannot take responsibility for any breakages that occur through mishandling. Please take care when using lotions, perfumes or water as some metals can react to these items, which may result in discolouration or tarnishing.

MIMCO jewellery is crafted using a variety of metal and plating. Our non-precious chains are usually crafted from steel or brass. Unless specified, the rose gold, silver and gold components we use are plated colours. All plating of chains, earring hooks and stems are nickel free. Sterling silver (925) pieces are clearly labelled and can be cleaned with a special sterling silver cloth to prevent tarnishing.

Individual raw materials on MIMCO jewellery will vary from piece to piece. For specific details on how to care for you item, please email customercare@mimco.com.au.

SIZE GUIDE

Use the below table as a guide to finding your perfect fit.

QUALITY

LASTS

The majority of MIMCO's shoes have been crafted with custom-made last constructions, which allow us to optimise heel heights, toe shapes and fitting options.

SOCKS

Each of our socks is fitted with a 3mm latex padded sock, which creates a memory fitting effect after repeated wear. They are finished in a fresh neutral shade with a metallic rose gold arc insert.

SOLES

The majority of MIMCO's shoes feature synthetic resin-like soles, and generally will not require re-soling, except in cases of excessive wear. These soles do not absorb water or become slippery in wet conditions. They also feature a laser line etch and signature brand studs: The Supermicra Stud and the MIMCO Heart.

Thin stiletto-style heels will require re-soling after wear due to their construction. Each is sold with a spare pair of heel tips, to be replaced by a qualified professional when required.

HEEL HEIGHTS

Our expansive range of heel heights ensure that there is a shoe for every occasion...and every woman's style. Each unique heel in our collection has been developed and designed by our Melbourne design team.

Each style's heel height is available on the product pages of our website.

Supremely comfortable and superbly stylish, our 15-35mm heels are the perfect addition to your working wardrobe.

Be confident wearing any of our 55-75mm block heels all day and/or night. This silhouette is flattering and also extremely comfortable.

Our knitted and/or woven scarves are crafted from a variety of natural and synthetic fibres and yarns and some feature sequins and embellishments. Due to the delicate nature of these fabrics, they are dry clean only.

Please take care when wearing your items as they are delicate and could pull or snag easily if caught. We cannot take responsibility for any stones that may fall off due to catching.

Knitted wool scarves can be hand washed with a delicate wool wash. Once washed, they should be rolled in a towel to remove any excess water, and lid flat to dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry.

CARING FOR HATS & RACEWEAR

MIMCO Hats & Racewear are crafted from a variety of materials including wool felt, straw and paper. Some are finished with embellishments such as semi-precious stones, netting, feathers and sequins.

If items are dropped or mishandled, stones may fall out or embellishments may break. MIMCO cannot take responsibility for any breakages that occur through mishandling. Avoid placing items on top of hats as they may become misshapen.

Hats & Racewear cannot be washed, but they can be spot cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Some hats and feathers are hand dyed and therefore are not guaranteed to be colourfast and should not be worn in wet conditions. When not in use, fill the centre of the hat with tissue paper to help keep its shape. Racewear should be stored in a MIMCO hatbox when not in use.
